MFAH Reviews

Houston's museums are underrated. The permanent and seasonal galleries are awesome.

Big place to know about the different expressions of art have depicted our civilizations through the pass of the years

The Van Gogh exhibit it is good, however it was very crowded

Aesthetically pleasing. Growing in its appeal to multiple cultures with more diverse programming.

Their collection is vast! You can wonder in it for a whole day and still cannot finish!

I really love this museum, but today they force my 2.5 years old daughter to wear mask which my daughter doesn't want then we left the museum , I'm understanding everything about Covid 19, but we can't force toddlers

Kinda boring honestly. Not much too see and what was there was...odd

It is a beautiful place to walk and meditate looking at the paintings and sculptures

The contemporary art was unexpected and delightful. Picasso, Pollock, Kandinsky, Seurat and Monet.

Great! Seeing Monterrey Pop on the big screen was awesome! Thanks for bringing this to us.

Like the paintings. They have a decent collection of impressionism

Really good place, finding parking might be tricky though. The Museum has several buildings, but we were able to visit only one ( dunno, maybe it s because of COVID-19 era we are currently in). The collection is really impressive, spacious halls and really friendly staff. The thing that absolutely blew my mind is that they have some stuff from ancient Egypt that is like 3-4 thousands years old.
Want to get back and explore this place some more!

The Norman Rockwell exhibit was well worth the price. I really enjoyed my experience at the museum as always.

Aside from the current construction across the street, this is really a great place to get away from the busy, the bustle, and especially the heat!

They are always working hard to bring in amazing exhibits from around the world, and each one you go to see leaves you with new appreciation and knowledge.

Thursday is no charge. Awesome. Thanx to everyone who makes that possible.

Great and totally interesting, beautiful art pieces

Wonderful museum. One day is really not enough time to really enjoy all of the amazing art housed inside these walls.

I have seen some amazing exhibits here. The Degas exhibit took my breath away. The Van Gogh exhibit was more than I could have imagined. Take a day and walk this museum. You can spend some time with the Masters.

I've been to the Fine Arts Museum quite a few times. They have their regular exhibits and have special exhibits that come through periodically. The staff is helpful with navigating through building, asking questions, and protecting art works.

I was so happy to see the many different fine arts. The wow factor. Keep up the good work.

The museum was very clean and offered plenty of staff to help with questions. I recommend doing the beck building first. It hard more traditional art which is my taste. If you prefer the unusual art such as... say a person licking a video camera try the other building. Staff was friendly, plenty to see. Hope to go again.

They wouldn't let me live there, what kind of museum doesn't let strangers stay there after hours? Impolite fools.

Perfect art museum!! Full day of fun. Follow my insta @keacherr

Best place to explore about history...very neatly arranged with ample info

Love this place. Has great exhibits and a really beautiful permanent collection of lots of impressionist works.

Interesting Exhibits and an upcoming expansion that looks great!

I love this museum. The paintings are amazing, diverse, and well organized. I was able to find my favorite painting without trying. The collections themselves are beautiful, and come with fascinating descriptions.

We really enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit. There was a line to get in- we waited about an hour- but its to be expected on a sunday afternoon. Parking was easy with a tunnel from the garage on Binz to the museum. Nice attendants checking on people in line and available for questions. World class exhibit- Thank you MFAH.

My husband and I enjoy stopping here yearly for sure. We both enjoy the many pieces of art. From China to France, it's amazing. We had the pleasure of seeing the Michelangelo exhibit which was amazing! If you purchase a one day ticket, you can use the amount spent on it, towards a membership within 7 days!

This is one of my favorite places to go in Houston.

I am a Glassell student and an art lover so I go to this museum almost every week. I love the museum; however, today me and a friend were verbally attacked and threatened inside Beck building by a homeless that claimed we were following him. We tried to walk away from him and ask the guards to call security. The guy screamed and followed us to a point were I started literally running away from him cause I was so afraid. The guards did nothing but wait for him to get away. When he finally got away (after he told us he was gonna wait for us outside), we had to wait more than 10 min for a supervisor to come just so that he told us that things like this happened all the time (on thursday the entrance is free so anyone can get in) and the best we could do was to ignore the threat since people like him would not be serious about it. They couldn t tell us if the person left the museum or even kick him out...so we were still scared. My friend was not okay with this so he politely asked and insisted the supervisor (I think his name was Carlos) for someone to scort us to our vehicle and a guard did. The guy was actually waiting for us by the cafe!!
I am really upset about this, cause I go to Glassell and I am also always at the museum and I did not feel safe at all INSIDE the museum. NO security ever came and we had to ask for someone to scort us (when we were told just to ignore it).
I won t be returning to the museum on Thursdays and I can t believe there is so many guards inside the museum but no actual security.

Awesome place to go with family. Free every Thursday!!!

3 great exhibits up now. New parking garage. Great way to get out of the Houston heat.

I was overly impressed with the collection of artwork at this museum. There vast collection included Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh. The museum is two multi-floored buildings joined by an underground tunnel. Spent about four hours in one building.

General admission is free on Thursdays.

Very nice place .. and thursdays free admission for most of the exhibitions. A very good place, free admission on Thursdays to most exhibitions! Very educational.

I love the museum perfect place to get lost in time.

Don't eat here when it's busy, you can't find a seat at all

Great museum. I'm very familiar with the permanent collection.There is also a lovely sculpture garden to walk through & roof top terrace above the parking garage. The staff was friendly & polite.

Superb van Gogh show on diplay with a great permanent collection as well. Easy parking

Nice place to go on a date, but not really for kids.

Went to see the Oscar Dela Renta exhibit, it was FABULOUS! There is quite a bit of construction in the area, so beware. Parking was plentiful but not free, It is however discounted w a member. We will be coming back.

Had a really great experience, went for the Van Gogh exhibit. I will definitely go back!

Excellent exhibits of Islam/Arabic and Indian work.

Thursday is free
Different expositions every season

We went on Thursday, it was free. Expected a little bit more

I always discover something new or a new detail. It is a wonderful museum, also free in Thursdays.

My peace. I love the museum. So much so that during my last visit, signed up for a membership. Great social scene a few times a year. Experienced many exhibits here. Well worth the visit.

Let's has interesting exhibits, the membership is a great value, I love the MFAH

VanGogh exhibit was both tragic and amazing. No lines on a Thursday morning!

love it! soooooo much to see, fantastic pieces of artwork at every turn.
